Deputies with the Delaware County sheriff's office arrived at a banquet hall early Saturday morning expecting to break up a domestic dispute. Instead, they were met by breast milk.
[...]
Witnesses and [suspect Stephanie] Robinette's husband told deputies that he and his wife were having an argument and that she struck him multiple times and then locked herself in the car. He also told them that his wife was intoxicated following a wedding they attended and started the dispute, the sheriff's office said in the news release.
The deputies said Mrs. Robinette began yelling profanities when they approached the vehicle and refused to get out. She then informed them she was a breast-feeding mother, removed her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk, Sheriff Walter L. Davis, III said in the news release.

[Robinette] faces charges of domestic violence, assault, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

Further investigation into the case could lead to additional charges, including harassment with a bodily substance, Davis said in the release.
"Many factors go into this, including whether deputies were actually hit with the breast milk," Davis said.
Exhibit B:
A South Carolina mother has been charged with murdering her 6-week-old daughter after traces of morphine were discovered in the mother's breast milk.
The six month investigation concluded that Stephanie Greene had been abusing painkillers prior to her daughter's death, according to police.
"She had been 'doctor shopping,' visiting different doctors, each not knowing about the other," said Master Deputy Tony Ivey of the Spartanburg County Sheriff's Office. "She was taking those drugs in such high quantities that, as a result, the daughter ingested it."
[...]
Ivey said that the coroner suggested that the lethal dose killing the infant came either through the breast milk or from intentionally placing it in the child's mouth.
"We're assuming it was through breast feeding," he said, adding that this is the first case of its kind he has ever seen.
